Arts ; but have not, it is believed, attempted to bestow literary- 

 honours of an higher grade. 



3. A College at Cambridge, in the district of Ninety-six. 

 This was incorporated at the same time with the two last men- 

 tioned seminaries ; but it has dwindled into an unimportant 

 school. 



4. A College at Beaufort, also incorporated about the 

 year 1795. This institution has yet been scarcely organized; 

 but agreeable anticipations are formed of its respectability and 

 usefulness. 



The reason why no College in this State has risen to much 

 respectability is, that the Legislature, instead of directing their 

 aid and patronage to one, which, under these circumstances, 

 might have flourished, have divided their attentions and grants 

 among several. The consequences have been very unfriendly 

 to the progress of literature. 



Georgia has one College, viz. 



The University of Georgia, founded in 1785. This in- 

 stitution is not yet fully organized. Liberal provision has 

 been made by the State for its support; and when the build- 

 ings and other arrangements shall be completed, it bids fair to 

 be an extensively useful seminary. 



Kentucky has one College, viz. 



The Transylvania College, or University, at Lexington. 

 This seminary was formed by the union of two academies in 

 December, 1798, and styled by the act of union the Tran- 

 sylvania University. 



The Government of this institution is vested in a Board of 

 Trustees. The Officers are, a President (at present the Rev. 

 Mr. Moore), who is also Professor of Logic, Metaphysics, 

 Moral Philosophy, and Belles Lettres ; a Professor of Mathe- 

 matics, Natural Philosophy, Astronomy, and Geography ; a 

 Professor of the Greek and Latin Languages ; a Professor of 

 Law ; a Professor of Medicine and Surgery ; and a Professor 

 of Chemistry. 



The Funds of this University consist chiefly of lands, and 

 may be considered as amounting to 179,000 dollars. The 

 Library consists of more than 1300 volumes ; besides a Law 

 Library, and a Medical Library, for the Students of Law and 

 Medicine. The Philosophical Apparatus is respectable, and 

 measures have been taken to render it still more so. 



The number of Students at this seminary, in 1801, was
